A perfect example of why it is always better to hold your tongue in response to any kind of review. It's all the more astonishing considering how mild the criticisms directed at the book actually were.

There's a lot to read in all those posts, but I think I've got the jist and can sum them up -

You think my books isn't really great but that's because you're a meany head who didn't read it properly and actually it is really great and I can prove it to you by posting random extracts. I know you didn't like them much the first time, but they are great. I know because I wrote them.

That was utterly unbelievable. I started reading all the responses... then realised my life was passing me by.

Do you think maybe the author wasn't quite... was maybe a little... 'special'? I think he comes across as socially inept, or something like that. I can't find the words. It's past my bedtime so I can only produce gobbledegook.
